French Toast Bastard

Scotch Ale / Wee Heavy

Backwoods Bastard gets the 4-star breakfast treatment. Our bourbon barrel-aged Scotch Ale is introduced to maple syrup, cinnamon, and sweet vanilla for a decadent brunch-inspired sipper. Breakfast for dinner, anyone?

The maple smell and flavor, while strong, seemed kind of artificial and off putting to me for some reason. Had to pair this with some delicious cinnamon pretzels (thanks Denny) to make it through.

This is like drinking some sort of alcoholic syrup. Vanilla flavor is way too prevalent.

This is, IMNSHO, not an improvement on Backwoods Bastard, which use pretty neat perfect. Cloyingly sweet, and overpowers the flavor of a food beer.

This is exactly what it sounds like. This is my wife's beer. She loves it but it is way too sweet for me. I think I'm going to need insulin.

Look what they did to my boy. The french toast additions are WAY overdone. So in-your-face it makes it hard to finish a single bottle. Backwoods deserves better.

Tastes like the syrup was scorched. Otherwise seems too sugary for my palate.

Whoa! This beer is very sweet. Too sweet really. I just taste French toast and nothing else. Can’t find the bourbon. Can’t find the malt. Not my jam.

Super syrupy with a burnt-maple flavor…it wasn’t my favorite but it did have a blackstrap rum/molasses finish that I didn’t hate…but I didn’t like the body enough to justify the finish. Insert inappropriate adolescent innuendo here 😜
